Overview
“A Significant Name” tells the story of Banban’s Chinese name. Born in Texas to Taiwanese immigrant parents, Banban was given an identifiable female American name - now their dead name - as a way to assimilate into western culture. But as their sense of who they are evolves, so does their name.
